2. If you boot this system into Windows 10, does the 8821CE work properly?
If so, please give me its VID/PID of PCI.
… now to try that patch.
The patch as given does not apply, but I managed to hand-fiddle it:

This indeed fixes the problem:

Stuart,
Yes, that patch has fallen through the cracks. It has been in my repo at
git://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88.git since Dec. 31, 2021, but is not in
wireless-drivers-next, and not in the mainline kernel. I have added the
maintainer for the wireless drivers to this reply, and I will follow up with him.
Larry
I recommend the GitHub repo as it will get such fixes much more quickly.
